Okay, with madmen going on shooting sprees, humanunkind fighting against humanunkind, corruption, wars and all manner of life’s priorities gone wrong, so much space is given to Khloe Kardashian- what does this woman actually do???- going into hiding after news of her basketball husband Lamar Odom cheating on her and addiction to crack cocaine has popped out.

Meanwhile, as if it’s The Virgin Mary and some immaculate conception, sister Kim Kardashian- what does THIS very strange looking woman with a humungous arse actually do other than make sex tapes like her former BFF Paris Hilton- is reported to be having “insecurities” after giving birth to North, her baby with Kanye West- North West, geddit?- and is being “consoled” by Beyonce.

This is as stupid as watching the “cliffhanger” that was Kim Kardashian’s faked out wedding on YouTube to another basketball player- a white one- which lasted only a few days. It all boggles the mind by its sheer absurdity and which would be more in place traveling with Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Seriously, how does any of this become “news” and who makes this shit up?

Mother Kris Jenner who has made a fortune pimping her daughters in the series Keeping Up With The Kardashians, through merchandising, public appearances and her own show called- what else?-Kris- has even managed to drag her husband and Poster Boy for plastic elastic surgery- former Olympic Decathalon Champion Bruce Jenner-into this unreal reality zit on the arse of the world where untalented people are made famous for being famous by publicists, paid-for paparazzi and the workings of TMZ who feed all this to a gullible public bored with their mundane lives.

It’s sad when shows like these featuring people who are not known for anything much- a reality series for aging Spice Girl Mel C? Honey Boo Boo, famous for being obese?- become excuses for not spending time getting a real life.

The good news is that this unreal reality world of television is coming apart at the seams- and not a minute too soon.

This crap and some awful productions from the la la land of Swingabore have simply run their course while those who create this vicarious crap are scraping the bottom of the barrel for new bad ideas to keep this stupidity alive. It’s survival of the mediocre.

Apart from the boredom of The Voice- do any of the winners get anywhere?- and other television talent competitions plus Ken and Barbie Dolls falling in love in hot-tubs and having weekly shagathons for the cameras, we must surely have had our fill of all those reality cooking shows like the search to find the Queen of Cupcakes, the 2000th season of the World’s Most Unknown Model and one that, at least, had me at Hello- The World’s Best Hooker. Alas, it was about anglers.

There is simply a void of creativity and an endless supply of hype and bullshit much like the real world where many wish to be fabulously rich- like the Kardashians- by doing as little as possible- also like the Kardashians.

Sorry, living lies and lives like this in la la land doesn’t help exercise the grey matter and which is probably why there are so many around with a new get-rich quick scheme and, incredulously, able to sell these dollops of scam to naive investors.

Doesn’t anyone even know anymore what real creativity is? Or, glancing at some of the advertising from this region, doesn’t it matter? Is it all about the pitch?

Miss Arquette plays the role of a, well, medium- it’s truly baaaad acting- who sees all kinds of bad shit in her dreams, wakes up in a panic and keeps messing up her husband’s sleep. And then she tells him what she dreamt about and the poor bastard has to listen to her yak yak yak.

She then goes to the police about what she’s seen, has more dreams that startle her husband before solving the case, the hour’s up following which, it’s a new show and Miss Arquette wakes up again with a jolt and her husband still doesn’t kick her outtta the house and ensure their kids grow up normal.

Who green lights this type of rubbish? Some Mouseketeers? Some intellectual midgets? The Kardashians?

Then, there is Do No Harm, another of those television series that tries to create an anti-hero like Dexter- and Dexter has become painfully boring and more laughable than dramatic or spooky.

Do No Harm takes the Jeckyl and Hyde story and tries to twist it- but all one gets is a stupid pretzel about a very nice, polite neurosurgeon who, at 8.25pm every day turns into a violent, womanizing yob with the strength of the Hulk.

At 8.25am he turns back to the polite neurosurgeon with no idea of the mayhem he’s caused and sets off to the hospital where he keeps making life hell as the “bad him” to the female interest in the series. She’s more fucking mad than him.

It’s like Dylan singing about “winning prizes that have never been won” and how it’s all a con and which must be deleted from lives as rid ourselves of uncreative clutter and get to the heart of what matters.

And while at it, someone please stop that Singaporean production of The Apprentice with all those la la wannabe apprentices and that cornball Tony Fernandez strutting around as the Big Poohbar with Mark Lancaster as his running dog. It’s embarrassing shit.
